I said "some" because it's possible Google has already tried to address these issues in the current software releases. I don't think Google saw the phone for the first time at their press release.

They really need to get their act together as far as software strategy and advertising goes. Throwing money at a problem blindly isn't going to cut it in this industry, so they very much need to make sure they hone/polish their wares a lot more than they're used to. I'm not sure if the company ethos can change quickly enough to make a difference in the next year though.
